Past News Releases

jKool today announced a partnership with IBM that brings the power of jKool® to IBM Bluemix developers. Starting today, developers can use the jKool RESTful API to stream time-series data, such as: orders, clicks, payments, claims and other user interactions to the jKool SaaS solution in the IBM Cloud Marketplace and as a result immediately analyze and visualize their application data. This provides easy application access to a Cloud service for real-time operational intelligence, analytics and visualization.

The jKool RESTful API is a cloud-enabled service that can be engaged via Bluemix. Developers and DevOps practitioners using this RESTful API will benefit from an easy-to-use, REST API that makes it easy to send JSON to the cloud service. The jKool API is integrated with Swagger so that developers can use the Swagger SDK Generator to auto-generate a client API making it still easier to engage with the jKool Cloud Service.

jKool’s real-time operational intelligence, analytics and visualization provides immediate value to DevOps professionals who need to find and fix problems faster, deliver releases sooner and be proactive. Typical use cases include: analyzing Java Garbage Collection behavior, detecting security issues and acquiring instant insight into business outcomes through real-time analysis of machine data. Businesses will benefit from greater customer satisfaction as they deliver high quality application experiences to their customers. Connect up to the API and start with jKool’s free tier, today.

The jKool SaaS automatically visualizes time-series data from any RESTful source as well those from Java, Log4j, Logback, SLF4J, Servlets, Syslog and Apache Spark in real-time. Using SaaS, there are no servers, database or schemas to manage. jKool’s real-time scorecard provides immediate insight to developers, DevOps users and business analysts who can now make split-second decisions based on real-time, data-in-motion such as orders, clicks, payments, claims, and searches as well as compare this to historical data, data-at-rest. They learn what they didn’t already know, take advantage of perishable insights, detect preventable losses and uncover new opportunities.

jKool visualization includes behavior, performance, location and topology displayed on a real-time dashboard. Users can subscribe to topics of interest or interactively ask a question using an easy-to-use, English-like query language. jKool, a multi-tenant solution is built on an Apache open-source foundation including: the NoSQL database Cassandra and Solr from DataStax, along with Kafka, Spark and STORM all orchestrated in-concert via jKool FatPipes™ technology.

"Until recently, analyzing and visualizing streaming data in real-time with the ability to compare that to historical data was just not possible for most businesses,” said Charley Rich, vice president of product management at jKool. “jKool’s new RESTful API for streaming time-series data makes it easy for DevOps to add real-time analysis and visualization to their applications. jKool analyzes data in-memory, offers extreme scalability and provides you with the vital information you need to act now.”
